PER CURIAM: Joshua K, a minor under the
age of seventeen, appeals following being adjudicated delinquent to two counts
of criminal sexual conduct with a minor. Joshua argues the trial court erred
in failing to grant a directed verdict based on insufficient evidence to prove
the crimes charged. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967),
Joshua’s counsel attached a petition to be relieved, stating that she has reviewed
the record and concluded the appeal lacks merit.

After a thorough review of the record pursuant
to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357
(1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.
